That doesn't sound right, though I don't know that I paid such close
attention to any "warning" messages during the install.

In any case I didn't have any trouble doing an install on my PE2650 to
an "ld0" device, and that was with sysinst, from a full from-scratch
build of a normal bootable installation CD, using the netbsd-4 branch
sometime in the first or second week of February (the CD with the actual
date on it is downstairs and I'm too lazy to run down and look :-))
